BEING A WOMAN, WHAT MAKES YOU POWERFUL IN THIS COMMUNITY?
"Well being a woman in South Korea there used to have a perception about how men can do more stuff than women. And because now women are like stepping up and protesting about how men and women are equal. I think now we have more of a chance in South Korea."
WHAT ARE SOME PERSONAL EVENTS THAT HAVE IMPACTED HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING A WOMAN?
"Well, when I was young I haven't thought about how people think. Some people think about how women have a lower ability than men. But now, some people talk about how men can do stuff that woman. It has impacted me like as I am always there telling other people and seeing other women stepping up and protesting about the equality of gender."
TALK TO ME ABOUT YOUR FUTURE PLANS AND DREAMS?
"Well, this is a hard question because like I have like many dreams and a lot of things like in my mind but I think myself as a woman if I accomplish really a big thing and if I reach beyond my goals towards my future I think it'll definitely impact many young girls. So I'm not really sure what I'm going to do but I would want to make a lot of young girls."
DO YOU HAVE A ROLE MODEL, SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO?
"Who am I look up to my mom because she has accomplished a lot of things because she's a businesswoman now and she raises two kids at the same time and everything going on I look up to her because she is a woman but she's doing many things that some men can do?"
IF YOU WERE TO BE PORTRAYED IN A PORTRAIT OF YOURSELF, HOW DO YOU SEE IT?
"I see myself fighting students like trying to like get to a good university and accomplishing goals. If you get to a good university people will look more forward to you even though a lot of people say oh the world is changing. But that perception is still here."
